Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Tipped To Boast 8 GB RAM, 512 GB Storage

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is shaping up as a real beast according to the latest leak, which claims it could boast 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of native storage space.

Samsung's Galaxy Note line of devices has always packed top-of-the-line specs and advanced features, but this year's iteration could be better than ever. The top configuration could blow the competition out of the water, but it might also cost a fortune.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 With 8 GB RAM?

The latest leak might sound a bit exaggerated at first glance, but it's actually not that farfetched. Last year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 came in a top configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage space, while the Galaxy S9 Plus from this year packs 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage.

In this context, the allegation that the Galaxy Note 9 could sport as much as 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage sounds plausible. Other smartphones are already dipping into the 8 GB of RAM pool and Samsung likes to stay ahead of the curve, so a beastly Galaxy Note 8 would make sense.

The information comes from Ice Universe and it's unconfirmed at this point, so it's advisable to take all leaks like this one with a hefty grain of salt.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Rumored Specs

Based on other leaks and rumors that have surfaced so far, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is expected to feature a large 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,960 x 1,440 pixels, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 processor (depending on region), 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM (two configurations expected), and 64 GB, 128 GB, and 512 GB options for internal storage.

It will have the iconic S Pen stylus and advanced features to go with it, as well as a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and an iris scanner for extra security. A microSD card slot should allow for additional storage.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is expected to launch this August and could start at $930, but the top configuration could go well above $1,000 considering that flash memory is still expensive.

With no official word from Samsung, however, it all remains in the rumor state.
